UC, CSU released troves of personal employee information to the feds. Now the backlash

"At Cal State, a faculty union filed suit Friday in state court after learning the personal phone numbers and email addresses of 2,600 Los Angeles campus employees were turned over to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is investigating employee complaints of campus antisemitism. In addition, the EEOC is contacting Jewish faculty across the 22-campus system, prompting campus demonstrations against cooperating with Trump."

"At UC Berkeley, protesters recently converged on campus after University of California leaders said they released files from their civil rights office and UC police incident reports containing the names and contact information of 160 faculty and staff to the Education Department, which is also investigating alleged campus antisemitism. UC-wide faculty senate leaders are demanding to know whether there have been other campus disclosures. UC has not publicly announced similar actions outside of Berkeley - but has not denied the possibility."

California public university systems provided personal contact details of faculty and staff to federal agencies investigating allegations of campus antisemitism. Cal State released phone numbers and email addresses for 2,600 Los Angeles campus employees to the EEOC under subpoena, triggering a faculty union lawsuit and campus demonstrations. The EEOC is contacting Jewish faculty across the 22-campus CSU system. At UC Berkeley, files and police incident reports with names and contact information for 160 faculty and staff were released to the Education Department. Officials say some disclosures were compelled or negotiated; state leadership and faculty bodies are demanding clarification and review.
